Contest! | Cathy C. Hall Writes

You know what I always say about winning? You can’t win if you don’t try! I just added the Michael Lacapa Award to my Awards page. So, go check that out and ooh and ahh, but come right back to find out where you can win this month!

Back? Okay, find a story that you know a 3 to 8 year old would love. Preferably a story you have written. Now, take that story, give it a polish and send your gem to the Abilene Writers Guild Annual Contest in the Children’s Stories division. Yes, there’s an entry fee ($5.00) but there’s also a chance to win (sorta) big bucks. Your entry must be postmarked by October 31st, so quit reading and start writing. Oh, and winning!

First of all, do you know who Christine Kringle is? Secondly, have you bought the latest Christine Kringle book? And thirdly, can you write a super fantabulous plot?

Because that’s all you have to do to win $5,000 and your name on the next Christine Kringle children’s book. And even if that all seems a little daunting, you can still not win but maybe get a little attention from the book’s publishers. So, that’s awesome, too.

Maybe not as awesome as $5,000. But it’s a little elf bootie in the door, isn’t it? So, hurry on over to Lynn’s Christine Kringle website to get all the info. You may have till January to enter this contest, but you really can’t rush brilliance. Plus, you’ve got to go get that book (and read it).
